Unified Auction House Coming To World Of Warcraft

The World of Warcraft community continue to wait in anticipation for the upcoming expansion, Warlords of Draenor, and today developers Blizzard announced that the Auction House is set to receive an overhaul with the removal of the faction locked system that is currently in place.
Faction locked means World of Warcraft players may only currently sell items to players in the same faction, offering an easy to control economy that Blizzard can monitor on a faction-by-faction basis. According to a new Blue Tracker post on the official World of Warcraft forums, Warlords of Draenor will see a new Auction House in which every World of Warcraft player may participate without any faction restrictions in place.

Hopefully it is. It would make life a lot more bearable as minority faction on an unbalanced server.
Yes, in 6.0 auction houses are unified between factions on a given server. The benefit you cite is a major reason behind the change.
